The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual unveiling of newcomers before the game's release, to players developing strong views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive appearances that highlight their traits, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why Aries much more akin to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the good side of both and enjoy a strong partner; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its standard and Mega form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed passion for treats. Several previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this total queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an endless fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which sounds very similar to a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a intense sign famous for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. It is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Lion offers to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a performance, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a always surprised face like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely appreciate Super Audino's skills. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress even more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad origin: Discarded as a toy, it became consciousness through pure resentment and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a performance. As a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to consistently believe they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
